First: Wake up your mind

Baihui acupoint is located on our brain, and the bladder meridian also intersects at Baihui acupoint.

Modern medical research has found that moxibustion on the Baihui point can effectively accelerate the blood flow in the arteries of the brain, which in turn leads to faster cerebral blood flow and promotes brain health. In addition, acupuncture on the Baihui point can effectively improve the amount of bleeding in acute cerebral hemorrhage and effectively promote the recovery of nerve function and limb function.

Second: Calming the mind and improving intelligence

In traditional Chinese medicine, the physiological and pathological diseases of the brain are all attributed to the five internal organs. Since Baihui acupoint passes through various acupoints, the meridians of Baihui acupoint, back-shu acupoints and the five internal organs are the same. Therefore, regular massage of Baihui acupoint can soothe the five internal organs, calm the mind, refresh the brain and improve intelligence. It also has a therapeutic effect on insomnia, dreaminess and forgetfulness.

Clinical trials have found that acupuncture at the Baihui point can effectively improve Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, and significantly improve the mental decline of patients, such as apathy, slow reaction, misunderstanding, drowsiness, forgetfulness, etc. Acupuncture at this point can effectively dilate the blood vessels in the brain, improve the elasticity of the blood vessels in the brain, and reduce the tension of the blood vessels, so that the blood flow will increase, the blood circulation will speed up, and the brain reaction will naturally speed up.

Third: Qigong pain relief

If you have a headache, massaging the Baihui acupoint can effectively relieve the discomfort. Because the Baihui acupoint is connected to many acupuncture points in the body, massaging this point has a good effect of dredging the meridians. Once the meridians are dredged, it will naturally have a pain-relieving effect, especially for headaches caused by meridian blockage.
